Validation and cultural adaptation of "Kujala Score" in Spanish.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo translate the patellofemoral disorder questionnaire "Kujala Score" into Spanish and to adapt it for Spanish culture .
methodsInternational recommendations were followed to translate the "Kujala Score" into Spanish together with a cultural adaptation and validation. We analysed the following parameters: internal consistency, agreement construct validity, test-retest reliability, ceiling and floor effects, and responsiveness. The reproducibility and responsiveness were tested in 72 patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome in a test-retest design with follow-up testing at 7 days. The "Kujala Score" and the VISA-P were administered to 98 patients and 30 patients, respectively, who completed the "Kujala Score" and VISA-P after physiotherapy treatment, which consisted of rest, ice, proprioceptive exercise and manual therapy.
resultsThe Spanish "Kujala Score" had high internal consistency (Cronbach α = 0.8; if an item was deleted, Cronbach α = 0.77-0.80), excellent reliability and agreement (interclass correlation coefficient = 0.99), and good construct validity that was significantly correlated with the outcome of the Spanish VISA-P (Spearman rho = 0.7; P < 0.001). No ceiling or floor effects was detected for the Spanish "Kujala Score" or the responsiveness of the participants based on 40 patients receiving physical therapy, rest, ice and proprioceptive exercises for 1 month, demonstrating that it is a good determinant of changes in the symptomatology of patients with knee pain.
conclusionsThe Spanish adaptation of the patellofemoral disorder questionnaire "Kujala Score" proved to be valid and sensitive to clinical changes and to be a reliable instrument to assess the severity of pain and disability in patients with patellofemoral disorders. This questionnaire will be useful in clinical practice and research as an appropriate tool to evaluate and record the symptomatology of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome among Spanish population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic study, Level I.
